What would the code for HET bipolar forceps be?
With the patient in left lateral position, the HET Bipolar Forceps, a tissueligating
device, is introduced intra-anally with the treatment window
towards left buttock at approximately 3 o?clock, then, The HET Bipolar
Forceps then was rotated around the clock and positioned with treatment
window towards the right buttock (superior aspect) at approximately 7 o?
clock, then The HET Bipolar Forceps then was rotated around the clock
and positioned with treatment window towards right (inferior aspect) at
approximately 11 o?clock. The treatment window was opened and the
mucosa-submucosa layers, carrying the superior hemorrhoid blood supply
to the hemorrhoid at 3, 7 and 11 o?clock, as well as the apex of
hemorrhoid proximal to the dentate line, were allowed to protrude into the
lumen of the device. The resulting tissue fold was clamped in the
treatment window of the HET Bipolar Forceps and ligated using bipolar RF
energy. The treatment continued until the tissue temperature reached
55C, which was monitored using the HET Temperature Monitor. The
treatment window of the HET Bipolar Forceps then was opened and
treatment area evaluated. The target tissue fold appeared to be wellligated
and moderately ischemic without signs of necrosis.
Total number of treatments was 5.
